                The Magna fuckin Carta was just the Barons taking power away from the King.

                It’s not even at the level of 3000 year old Ancient Helenic Democracy which itself was flawed as fuck (only free men got a say, no slaves or women).

      It’s probably a bit arbitrary, but best I can find England’s democracy is younger. Likely due to the king still having certain powers preventing England from being considered a democracy until a good bit after the founding of the US

        Yes, the american democracy is the oldest under a very narrow view of what constitutes a democracy, which basically the republic style yall invented, not even a real democracy anyways.
